Nepolokivtsi is a village / small town in the district Cozmeni Chernivtsi region, today in Ukraine, before WW2 in North Bukowina, Romania.
The town is situated at an altitude of 194 meters on the Prut River.
It is located at a distance of 30 km north west from Chernivtsi, in Northern Bukowina.
It used to be the last train station in Bukowina
before crossing the border to Galitzia and Poland.
There were two Jewish communities in Nepolokivtsi pre WW2: Most of the Jews lived in the village itself.
A small community lived in the train station neighborhood of Nepolokivtsi, which during the Romanian period was called "Grigore Ghica Voda".

Jonathan Michael Wien translated from
Ukrainian:
"Here rest 36 Jews from Nepolokivtsi
tortured and shot dead by the Nazis in July 1941. May
their memory live forever!
Chernovitz
association of former prisoners of concentration camps and
ghettos. Chernovitz regional fund "Chesed Shushana"."
Sadly, they were shot by locals,
Romanian and Ukrainians. And more sadly, many more were
killed and died during the years of deportation to
Transdniestria.
